I continue to call for as long as I have confidence in the stand, regardless of how early I happen to put one on the ground. I usually like stands of 12 to 15 minutes, but if they keep coming, I won't leave.
If your question is, why bother staying on stand after you kill one; the answer is that you will never kill doubles and triples, unless you continue to work the stand. And, if your question is; that the shot is going to spook any animal that might have been heading in, that isn't true. They can, and do run right in on you, after a shot. Don't be off guard.
Good hunting. LB
